UPDATE:
Thank you all so much for your shares. As of today, Friday, October 30, we have found Foster placement for the neglected Poodle, Kit Kat, the Klee Kai, Zero, the female Scottie, Maggie, and a possible foster for the male Scottie, Brody.

We have not found Foster's for the two German shepherds, Veruca and Georgina, the bonded pair of Great Pyrenees, Bramble and Willow, or the Lab, Poe. four dogs in fosters is fantastic but there are five left. Please keep sharing. We know there are people out there who can dig deep and help these dogs. ❤️🐾❤️
Thank you!!

Original Post:
Okay, so sadly, the situation is really getting desperate. We haven't been able to find foster homes for any of the dogs we've recently posted 💔.

There are three dogs we need to get out of the county shelter and into foster homes ASAP, and we also have six dogs who really need to find fosters and/or adoptive homes ASAP.

That's NINE DOGS we need to find options for 😳.

Please SHARE and really consider whether you or someone you know might be able to help us save one of these lives.

First, is Zero, who is possibly a Klee Kai with bi-colored eyes. He is estimated as one year-old and weighs only 17 pounds. He is fun and energetic, and he really needs to go to a home with another active young dog to give him a playmate and to help work out some of his energy. He might also be a good running companion once he has some training under his belt.

Next is Poe, a Labrador Retriever. He is a big boy, estimated as two years old and weighing 84 pounds. He is playful and a nice boy who might make a great hiking companion for some lucky person.

Then there's KitKat, a Standard Poodle. She was estimated as three years old and came in to the county shelter emaciated and neglected, weighing only 31 pounds. If you've never experienced it before, watching a neglected dog blossom is one of the most gratifying experiences life has to offer.

We also have two purebred Scottish Terriers. These two do not need to go as a pair. Brody and Maggie are eight years old, a male and a female. they lived with a senior woman with Alzheimer's, who sadly was also a hoarder. The home they lived in was really, really bad (we have pics). They were also deprived of walks and social skills with other dogs, so they can be defensive but they are great with people. They also did live with cats. Either one would make really good companions for a quiet home or homebody and they so deserve to have a really good second half of their lives .

Then we have a bonded pair of Great Pyrenees who everyone adores. We won't separate them. These two are just such nice dogs. Bramble is approximately five years old and weighs about 120 pounds. Willow is approximately four years old and weighs about 70 pounds. They love romping around a fenced yard and of course, they make really good herd guarding dogs (as long as you have a securely fenced property).

And last for this post, we have two German Shepherd mix girls who are one year-old. Veruca and Georgina are sisters that have been with us since they were puppies. Their siblings found homes but these two never did. They are sweet girls and they are classically Shepherd in a lot of ways. Either girl would make a fantastic protector for someone who lives in the country. We can GUARANTEE you no one with a brain cell would trespass with either of these two on your property! 😂 Seriously though, this is actually a more rare trait than you would think...

So again, please everyone, we really need you all to take a few minutes and think hard whether you or someone you know might be in a position to help one (or two) of these dogs. ❤️🐾❤️

Local Portland Metro area only, please.

Thank you so much!

UPDATE:

We haven't found fosters for ANY of these three. We're really surprised. All three dogs are really sweet! Please SHARE so we can get them out of the shelter and into foster homes.

Thank you!!

OP:

Hello!

We are working on finding Foster homes for three really nice dogs who are struggling with county shelter life.

First is Zero, a 17 pound cute male dog who might be an Alaskan Klee Kai. He is estimated to be one year-old and would love to be in a home with another dog.

Second is Poe, an approximately two year-old male black lab. He is very friendly and a big boy, at 82 pounds!

Third is Kit Kat, a female Standard Poodle who came in to the county shelter emaciated at 31 pounds. She is a little shy but very sweet and estimated at three years old. One of the pictures shown is of the matted hair that was shaved off of her 😳.

Please note, we are unable to determine friendliness with cats for any of the dogs we post because they are in a county shelter. Sorry!

Please SHARE and DM if you are able and have good news about fostering one of these three deserving dogs. Local Portland Metro area only please.

Thank you!!

THIRD UPDATE:
(New pics attached)
JJ went to his new home today! He will meet the current feline residents gradually. As expected he was fabulous and relaxed. See pic on heated bed where he was apparently snoring...❤️

SECOND UPDATE:
JJ had a FeLV/FIV test this morning and he tested positive for FIV. This is such a learning opportunity that we wanted to share.

First, knowing JJ is FIV positive is all the more reason he cannot live on the street. This is how the disease spreads. FIV is spread by blood and while we can see that JJ wouldn't fight with another cat, it does not mean another cat wouldn't fight with him.

But here's the most important part. FIV is not a death sentence! Cats can live a completely normal lifespan with FIV. They can even live with non-FIV cats, as long as everyone gets along. JJ wants to get to go outside and this Saturday he will be going to a home with a catio. He'll get to go outside and he'll live a safe life without spreading FIV. The best of all worlds.

JJ is a lucky, lucky kitty!! ❤️🐾❤️

UPDATE:
A possible home for JJ is pending. Catio included! We'll know for sure on Saturday. 🤞🤞

OP:
A sad story resulting in the sweetest (BIG) cat needing to find a new home...

This is JJ. He's a really big (but not fat) domestic shorthaired tabby cat who fearlessly strolled right up and introduced himself to one of our rescued dogs and two humans while we were standing on my front lawn. I've almost never seen a cat on my street. It was near dusk and people drive way too fast down my street, plus there are coyotes who frequent the neighborhood.

I couldn't in good conscience leave this uber friendly cat outside on his own as darkness fell. So, I packed him up and took him up to the Tanasbourne Emergency Vet to be scanned. Surprisingly, he did have a microchip. They gave me the chip number and I brought him home to try to find the owner. The first two registries didn't have his microchip but the third one did. They gave me the owner's name, phone number and address and I was even more surprised to learn that it was somebody on my street, so I left a message that I had their cat. No one called back. Luckily, we have a very kind cat foster family who was willing to take him in! (So grateful ❤️😅)

The next day, again, no one called. The house that was the address on JJ's microchip belonged to a reclusive couple. They had built a fence and a hedge around their front door so it's not accessible to the public. I peeked through the hedge and saw a cat tree inside the window but the house was dark. I started thinking maybe the owner had left town and just left food and water set up for the cat for a couple of days but that still begged the question of how he got out of the house. If there was a pet sitter, they were not making any obvious effort to find the cat. It was very mysterious.

Two more days passed before the neighbor next-door to their house finally contacted the shelter looking for JJ. We eventually learned that both of his owners had passed away and the house was now vacant. For a long time, JJ had been living between his empty house and the next-door neighbors who are renters and not supposed to have a pet.

JJ is used to living both inside and outside, and he's been so lucky not to have been hit by a car on the busy street corner of 185th, or to have been taken by a coyote. In fact, this cat would probably have greeted a coyote in his gregarious way had he run into one 😉. For our part, we want to find JJ an indoor home where he can be safe for the rest of his life. Ideally, a home with a catio so he doesn't try to get out of the house but he can still enjoy being outside.

JJ is a neutered adult male. We don't know for sure his age but he might be around 10 years old. He is seriously the most friendly, calm cat you would ever know. He is friendly with both dogs and cats!

Please SHARE and help us find the right home for this gentle giant. DM for more information. Local Portland Metro area only please.

Thank you!

UPDATE:

No big surprise here, but this little cutie has been safely placed 😊. Thank you all so much!

OP:

Hello!

This sweet little 3 year old, 8 lb male poodle named Indy is needing a foster home. Sadly, his senior mom is going into an assisted living home and he cannot go with her.

Indy is a very sweet and affectionate lap dog, but he is used to living with one person in a very quiet home. He has some separation anxiety because he wants to be with his person all the time, and he is going to be afraid of other dogs or cats but he could probably be in a calm foster home with a respectful dog or cat.

Please SHARE, and DM with good news! Portland Metro area only please.

Thank you!!

10/08/2026

Update:

Yes! He is safely in a temporary foster home for the week. Thank you to everyone who offered! ❤️

UPDATE:

Thank you so much Katie! We are 85% of the way there. Katie will be out of town from October 15th through the 22nd. Is anyone available to take care of this little man for that week?

OP:

Hello!

We were able to move both of the little Chihuahua's into foster homes, but unfortunately, nothing came through for this cutie. He is estimated to be approximately five months old and weighs 35 pounds so he will be an approximately 45-50lb medium sized adult dog.

This cute boy came in to the shelter on Aug 29th, so he is really growing up in a county shelter! He was very fearful when he first arrived at the shelter, but he warmed up quickly and he loves the staff.

He is a good natured puppy who loves other dogs. Please SHARE and consider whether you can foster this sweet boy and get him into a real home. WE CAN DO IT!! Portland metro area only please.

Thank you!!

UPDATE:

Both little Chihuahuas were moved to their separate foster homes today, and we are hoping to move the pup to a new foster home possibly Monday. Thank you all for caring so much! This is how we save lives. ❤️

OP:

Ok everybody. We're lighting a fire looking for foster homes for two shelter dogs who really deserve a chance to have a happy life (well, really they all deserve that but today we're working on these two), and one little guy who's just in a tough situation.

The first dog is a cute little four year-old, 7lb neutered male Chihuahua who has a single bite on his record. He bit a child in the face but it was a minor bite and the owner explained to the shelter staff that it was the child's fault because he was told not to but he still stuck his face in the face of the dog 🙄. He has been friendly with shelter staff and loves to sit in someone's lap. He has finished his required quarantine period so he is good to go and get a fresh start.

The second dog is a puppy! He weighs 26lbs and is an approximately five months old mixed breed (?) boy who has been at the shelter since the end of August. He is growing up in the shelter! 😢 This boy is a very nice dog who was really scared when he came to the shelter but has warmed up with all of the staff. He's really good with other dogs. He's a really good boy who needs to be in a home!

The third dog is also a very nice dog. He is considered a senior at 11 years old even though small dogs can easily live to 20 years old. He is neutered, weighs under 10lbs and is good with cats and small dogs and just gets nervous around big dogs.

Please consider, SHARE and DM with good news. Local Portland Metro area only please.

Thank you!!
